Street smart Krunal Pandya delivers to raise RCB’s bowling profile

Hindustan Times  

Kolkata: It has gone down as a wide in the scorecard, but Venkatesh Iyer might differ. Jitesh knows I can do anything, bowl a wide yorker or bouncer, so he’s aware,” said Pandya after RCB’s seven-wicket win against KKR on Saturday. But Pandya anyway is more effective in the middle overs, something KKR probably knew but didn’t know how to overcome. That is comforting to have in our group and leading the way in the spin department.” Someone had to take the reins of RCB’s spin bowling in the middle overs, given Suyash Sharma was spraying the ball and Liam Livingstone was basically part-time. And Pandya didn’t lose much time to stamp his authority by removing Rahane in the 11th over, firing back-to-back flat deliveries before allowing the KKR captain to open up his stance but with a fielder at deep backward square leg.
